The MLB has a really good setup for internet viewers. my roommate at school was a big Atlanta braves fan and we would watch a lot of their games on his computer or by connecting the computer to the TV. I dont think (American) football has that yet.

Not reallly, ESPN does stream online but you need to have cable.

EDIT: And it does. There's no reason outside of corporate greed that you can't buy and watch what you want online. Even when it comes sports.

I was talking about MLB.tv its expensive but you can watch any out of market games on pretty much any device a person has these days.
And I understand disliking the money grubbing corporations. The internet is powerful tool for circumventing cable. I just like watching sports live.

Just checked that site. And it's still a lot cheaper then cable. Especially if you buy a year at a time. Though admittedly I don't watch sports so I'm not sure what out of market refers to in this instance.

Re: TV and Y O U

@GameGeeks out of market refers to a TV market not in your area. For example since my roommate and I were in Columbus Ohio the Atlanta Braves games were out of our TV market. Thus MLB.tv was his preferred method to watch the games he wanted to see.
I agree there are a plethora of ways to get content without utilizing cable or satellite but for some people its just not practical. I think Netflix is vastly overrated and there content is very hit or miss. not to mention just old in general.
